Life Liberty Happiness + HR2 - 5.29.2024

Broadcasting on Grove Street f M. Brought to you by Media Squatch. It's Life Liberty Happiness with your host Bryan Sly with drenth Water Swing Swing. Welcome everybody to another episode of Life Liberty Happiness. I'm your host, Brian Sly. We are live in the David Hollaker State Farm Studios. Joining me Trient Warner, Haudy. It's back. Yes time, Miller time. Excuse you know what what he said to me earlier? He asked if I rank, and I said no. Then he was like, well, Miller time doesn't apply. Of course it does. We'll get you there. Let's stick with us. We got a great show today. Trent and I were lucky enough to sit down with Bob Good earlier. Congressman Bob Good running for reelection in the fifth district. Don't forget he is going on a primary here, so we need you to get out and vote. But we'll come up. We'll have a clip of Bob a little later on of our snippet of interview, but a little good vibrations. Trent Man honestly said these words when I left here after the interview. That's one of the highlights of my career. Like life, honestly professional life of sitting with him not I mean, we could interview anyone, sure, but I think after you hear it, just how forthright he was with everything. Just yeah, kind of laid by guy and just talk to you. That was really. I mean, I've dealt with politicians before, and I'll be honest with you what I was most impressed with, and like I said, we'll talk about that a little later on. But with him, anyone, any other politician I've been around, whether it be state or local or excuse me, state or federal, they have five or six people, yeah, with them, a secretary, a publicist, and you know, all these people and they're constantly, you know, bombarding you with stuff. Don't do this, do this, don't do that. He came in, sat down and spoke for over an hour, well, didn't care what we asked, just just and was confident in everything he did. And I think I think a lot showed that, you know what I've got. I don't have to hide, I don't have to to give you a bunch of bs because my record speaks for itself. Is that what got you the top ten today? What for our top ten? Yes? Is that what made you choose it. Yeah, my top ten top ten later on is top ten politicians. Yeah cool, not on the list. He's still earning it. This is our life. We're older. Yeah, so it's not. Don't get discouraged. I've got a lehn re election and you're on the list. I got a little twist to that your top two. So anyway, we have terrific show. Like I said, we'll play a snippet of that and drama will touch base with a little uh, just curious of where your thoughts are on Kelsey and the Swift situation. Okay, sports can't wait to talk about the five hundred. You sent me a stat today that blew me away. Yeah, me, no chance anybody would have ever said that. So we'll talk about that. I can't wait to talk about that because there's also a stat I'd like to share with you that blew me away. So a lot to get to. So without further ado, how about well, before we do that, let me pay bills. Thank you to seeing us Business Service as well. CNS is located at North and Maine Professional Building at the intersection of north Bridge Street and Main Street in Bedford, Virginia. There on the second floor. Please go see Charlene. She does a wonderful job of bookkeeping, accounting, taxes, the whole nine yards terrific group. As well as David Hotmaker in State Farm. I have all of my insurance with State Farm. So like a good neighbor, David is there. Onto this day in history and now part the rest of the story, This day in History on light, liberty, happiness. All right, speaking of that, that's Val we in the show today. Paul Harvey par Harvey good. We got a parr Paul Harvey par Parrvey Harvey good day so good. Can't wait to get to that. On this day in nineteen seventeen, JFK was born John F. Kennedy. And when what day? Nineteen seventeen? On this day? I thought, in nineteen seventy, nineteen seventeen, Yeah, yeah, cool. What's the F stand for Fitzgerald? I think you have no idea. If you say it like you mean it, it just becomes what was the movie Ted A Little Teddy Bear loot f Scott Fitzgerald? What did he do? Scott? John F. Kennedy? Now do you remember his most famous quote? JFK? If you had to Lena on one if I had Leno one, it would be ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country? And just think about that. That's actually what I wrote down to talk to Holy cow, how about that Democratic Party? They gotta have anybody that would say something like that, no chance. And we have a man, and that's gonna be it. I've had it, man, we're just tying it all together. We have a commander in chief that wants to tell you what does country can't do for you? Oh? Unbelievable. Yes, and de Niro will uh later on, oh do you have anything? No, I didn't bring on because it's just it was so bad. It was bad, and the people that were trying to disrupt admit it hard to understand what Denio was doing. But apparently he fumbled trying to say what was on his script? Yeah, he was reading it. Yeah. Somebody was like, hey, maybe it's not Joe Biden's fault, maybe it's his script writers. Even De Niro couldn't even read it. Well, upset man. About that is You're a paid actor. Aren't you supposed to be able to read a script and go do it? He couldn't do it without the script. Maybe he's a plant. Yeah, he's part of the Illuminatis. Well we'll say though, it looked pretty good for eighty years old. Is he eighty? Yeah, and he's still having babies. It just tells you, oh, that's right, he did. Well, we know one thing he does hope for us? All what don't all? Right? Miller time Listen, We're different than any other podcast you had to sit through today, slipped through. I told you I'm not We're not changing the show because what he's not there? I never said you had to on the drama. I heard judgment quick on the quick trigger Miller trigger Miller. I think I like that better than Miller time trigger Miller, Miller times, much better than Miller's. It's our generation Miller. You don't even know. Your generation doesn't even drink Miller. Like you keep talking, you'd be Miller. My boyfriend. Does I give him some props? Yeah? Hey, next time he comes to dinner, just have him sit down with two bottles and just gonner. That was cores light, wasn't it. I don't know. I remember him busting bottles together and uh, what was a stone called Steve Walls? Yeah, there was cans course like cans. Sure try bottles, all right? Drama I watched just so you know, I kept seeing it. You're so right about these. Whether it's Prime or Netflix, they do a good job of giving you these just these little clips and it gets you hooked. I saw, I know everything there is to know about Billy the Kid. I've actually read a book and loved all the movies that they've ever done about Billy the Kid, and I've always been intrigued by him. What's intriguing to me is you can have a newly formed state in New Mexico, right, and have a guy that's a living legend that you and I would know today. You know what I'm saying. I mean, how do you grow out of Mexico of all places to become this legend? You know what I mean? I mean that it's got to be fascinating. So trying to think of the characters like that, like Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone. Yeah, but I mean mostly East Coast, right, I mean, who out West Joe Montana? That's good one. Uh But anyway, I watched the first season. It's only uh, it's great. My wife was like, oh my god, is that the ending, and I'm like, no, no, So obviously they'll have to have a season two because it only takes you up to the start of the Lincoln County Wars, which was was Billy Kidd? Was he? And Tombstone? I mean was that character in Tombstone? Now? What was I thinking he was? Who? What was Val Kilmer? The cool com Okay, Valkimer was Doc co Okay, I gotcha. So Billy the Kid would have been Young Guns one and Young Guns that's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which was a phenomenal that's one where one and two actually two was probably better at one. Yeah. But and I when I read his book, he does fight the evil, right, I mean he does evil things, but he his whole life fighting against that, and it just seemed to always find him, if that makes sense. I mean it just no matter what he does, he's trying to do the right thing. Yea, and life just kept just dealing his Yeah, And so it's a kid. You should watch the series. It's very well done. I don't know who did it in Hollywood, but it is very well done. It's to look for. It's worth it's worth watching. I had put on here because I'm curious what your take is on Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Are they in the news again? They're always in the news. So I saw an interview with Patrick Mahomes where he said that he was basically the one that hooked them together, and I didn't know that. So he's a matchmaker according to himself. But I mean, I've heard people just talk about how this is a relationship that can't I mean, it's two uh celebrities that are on different paths. Mean, I guess. So, I'm just curious. The way I think of that is I don't give a shit. I mean I literally I couldn't care. Like I have almost been that way my whole life. I like Jamie you remember Jamie Campbell, Like, how does that effect my life? You know what I mean? I just never have any drama we're supposed to talk about, Okay, I gotcha. I mean I got about the show. I mean no, no, I just I don't put the show above your interest. I mean, none of those guys. When what great couple has ever lasted in Hollywood? Now, I don't know that. It's not very many. It's not a great couple. It's like it's weird, Like she didn't know anything about football. I mean, like star power couples, when do they ever really? I mean, now you got even Ben Affleck splitting on with j Low. Yeah. The most one that I know of is helped me out here. Got the country music singer it's really Carrie Underwood and her husband, he's a hockey player, was really good. I mean, I think those two are normal, but they stay out of the limelight. They don't. I mean, you wouldn't know they're barry because they don't talk about it and bring it up. Yeah, And I think but anyway, I could just see this coming to a nasty and somehow, some way. Yeah, Kelsey, let's not forget people talk about Kelsey as he's this wonderful person. He got kicked out of college because of drinking and doing bad things. Well, I was a big fan of his until the JAB and then he started promoting Pfizer and then he started kind of like Dennis Roban, he made himself a caricature of himself. I'm not a big fan of that, but I mean the Kelsey brothers, those dudes cracked me in. Yeah. And when they're together, like the other brother, which I would much Jason, Yeah, hang around him. And Jacob Beera would be great. Did you happen to see the Kelsey? Was that what made me think of him? As he was at the MAVs game the other night and when Luca hit the shot that ended up winning the game. But they dabbed each other up in the locker or they were on the way back. McAfee was talking about this yesterday, how huge Luca is compared to Kelsey. Yeah, so then they get in a battle with if football players could play in the NBA or if an NBA could play in the NFL. And I'm trying to remember who was the NBA guy that just got like so offended that you even would suggest that the NFL player play in the NBA, because he was like McAfee's like these cornerbacks and this guy I kind of can't remember who the NBA guy was, but man, was he like who I'm trying to think of any NFL player that was potential NB Terrell Owens, Randy Moss. I remember them in the competition back in the day they started, and I guess Gates the tight end at yeah San Diego. Yeah, I mean there's a handful, but certainly, certainly you could put Lebron James as a tight end somewhere right. Well, that's what Yeah, that's kind of what started. It was like you could throw it up to him, yeah right, and yeah whatever. But and then of course the NBA guy was like, well sure, you know, there's I'm sure we could block a few people. These gather are idiots. Yeah, anyway, all right, you got anything else for drama? Yeah? I finished your Clarkson Farm. When I say finished it, I just jumped ahead to the last couple of episodes because it's summertime and I don't know that I'm going to get hooked on another series. That's usually my wintertime effort. But I really did enjoy it. I'm glad you recommended it. I love the British spirit, you know, the ah f me but still trudged through, you know what I mean? They that good and then so yeah, that was it was worth watching. It was interesting to see, which is why I have added. Paul Harvey is on the eighth day, God made a Farmer. Yeah, that's what we're doing today. But he says, after two years of the show, they've got zero dollars, you know what I mean. Everything goes back into the farm. Or equipment or whatever, and they have no money. And his question is why do people do it right? And that's why I did. God made a farmer because you don't do it for you do it for what you like. You like getting out there and working. Sure, yeah, if you work the land and you do as with other companies, you know, there's certain things you do and there is a but this direct. It's direct. It's every day. But you want to talk about gambling there, I mean, screw going to Vegas. I mean you have a better chance of Vegas than you do being a farmer. Yeah, because you're literally putting all your money up front. Yeah, and you're gambling that you're going to get paid at the end and the weather dictates everything. It's just a b And what's crazy about it is I mean it's within days right of planning, or it's not months or you're awful week or no, if you're off a day or two here or there, it can change the whole aspect of the whole season. That's good. And he's very entertaining, so he does he is very self deprecating humor. It was great. Yeah, well that's good. I'm glad you liked it. Emma, have you been watching any of this stuff? No, I have no idea. What of course, what's your go to Emma when you have a night to just sit on the couch. Okay, you guys aren't gonna like this one. But Gilmore girls or I'm a big fan of New Girl. Can you cut her bike? He asked her. Listen New Girl. Isn't that the are they waitresses type thing? I don't know. It's a comedy. Oh she one woman and multiple guys? Yes, okay, got a roommates. That one's really funny. Okay, I know what it is. I like comedies. So like Brooklyn ninety nine, things like that. You guys haven't seen. Oh my god, I had hope for you. But at least you didn't go with Star Trek or never seen it. Oh my god, she got hired somehow. I'm sorry. I warned you. All Right, you're listening life libert it happens. Now onto sports. It's time for sports. Oh the D five hundred, let's start with that. Yeah, since that was to me, you talked about it. It is our biggest race day of the year. Yeah, you have Monico to start it off. Then you go to the Indy five hundred, and then you ended with the Coca Cola six hundred. Ye, so Monico started off black. I mean it was interesting because in lap one we had a massive wreck of h that took out Sergio Perez. Now he shouldn't have been there, because I mean I looked at that car afterwards. I didn't realize it was a bigger wreck. Yeah, could he have died? Did it look like he could have died in an accident or did it look like it was safe? No, I mean he hit hard, Like yeah, you were like, oh, like it was pretty nasty looking, especially they have so many camera angles now, so they show a camera angle from the fans point of view. And like you said, the most dangerous out of all of them has got to be F one because of the speeds, and yet they don't they have these flimsy little walls that they put up. Man. The first season that hooked me was Drive to Survive. Yeah, when Grocery Jean Yeah went through the guardrail and I was like, well, certainly they're not using that kind of guardrail anymore. But Chucko of course looked like metal guardrail along the view that they should the guardrail and it just like it explodes like it's you know, and that's what took so long. They had to redo the guardrail and all this stuff. But I mean, they are racing on a street that I didn't know this the day before. Cars are going through, and as soon as Monico Grand Prix's over that cars are going back through it like it's normous. I do like that part of Monico and obviously all the huge yachts and the people. Oh man, it's everything about it. Yeah. So a listener of ours, Dave, texts me and goes, man, I'm watching Monaco and it is boring, and I was like, it's actually the worst race of the year I far, but the the most theater. Yeah you will. I mean, so it's awesome, but there's no passing. So I saw an interview with Joseph Newgarden and I believe it might have been Pat McAfee. They showed because you've got a stat that you sent me, they showed a stat of it's a it's sort of a graph where where you started and where you finished. And so the F one comes up and literally positioned one through ten never changed. Yeah, there was not even a pass from seventh to six, so for the whole race, right, So that graph was straight lines like they started here and finished here, and then the back end was a few lines this way. They showed the Indie and it looked like like oh my god. And the new Garden said, so, the question was what made this year different than any other year? Now they had the massive rain delay, And new Garden said, what was going Indy? Yes, sorry, yeah, they had the massive raindeayer supposed started twelve and I think it started at three point thirty or four maybe, So he said he was shocked that pretty much all three hundred thousand people day and the energy that was building up. As a race car driver, you you kind of you build yourself into the car like this, your mindset right. Well, then the rain comes and you you don't unwind, but you're pent up. And now all of a sudden they put you in the car. And yeah, they were going crazy, like I don't I've never seen an Indy five hundred that had that. Well, interestingly, Indy is not really recovered even from the cart days. So there was a time where there were four hundred thousand people there, oh yeah, and they lost half of that. So they're building the momentum back up. Yeah, so you know it worked out for me because you had told me that that Monico had red flagged. Yeah, and I was on the road. Thank god that you can put YouTube TV on a phone and I can listen to it while we were traveling down the road and so. And he started late because of the rain, so I got to see almost all of Indy. Yeah, that was It was really really good. I mean, like Kyle Larson was so there was so much drama in that with Kyle Larson, how good he was doing. And I could see the My guess is if he doesn't screw up in the pits, I think he finished his top five. I mean he was that good and the car was that good. I just speeding on Pitt Road. I killed him. Yeah, just killed it man. And he did get the lead. Laughs. It was exciting when he got to I kept watching him and I kept seeing him clowning so he can say let it let Indy. Yeah, and he he belongs. I mean you can see, like again, I'm not knocking Jimmy Johnson, but when Jimmy did it, I mean he was tail end and he looked, you know, something was wrong, like he you know, Kyle looks like he belongs there. Also, it probably helps getting in on top six car. Yeah you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah, I don't know who Jimmy Road for. Do you know was it was? It Andrettie? I don't know. Man, they have sucked wind. Yeah, a lot of them, have a lot of people that I'm used to winning. I mean just yeah. But anyway, New Garden that's back to back for him. Did you know when I texted you that he's a Tennessee boy, I did not. Yeah, I just because of the way his name is, I assumed he was European or whatever. But yeah, he's It's Hendersonville, which is not too far out of Nashville, but that's where he's from. So kudos to him for winning it. And that's the other one. There's no you could have bet me a million dollars. If I had it, I'd have given it to you. That Ferrucci is an American, No way I would have thought that. I don't think I knew he was. I didn't know that to you just Sentina Ferrucci. I mean, there's nothing about that that speaks American. Now. I did look up Stingray Rob because I'm like, God, who names their kid Stingray? They really had the name up there as Stingray. I mean that is his real name. His parents named him after a car because they were car the Stingray. But how cool that you become a race car driver with a nap to Stingray. Yeah yeah, yeah, you can't work at Walmart. Gonna be a softball pitcher Stingray rob as a Walmart greeter. Yeah that's not gonna work. But anyway, Indy delivered big time. Then you had the Coca Cola six hundred. Who uh Now the racing I think was was gonna it was leading up to be a really good race. I didn't find it boring at all. Yeah, However, when the rains came, it's just like damn. Yeah. I hate when that happens because it sucks. Man. The worst part of it all was Larsen moving from Indianapolis, gets in a helicopter, gets on a jet, gets in a helicopter, lands at the thing they showed the golf cart running. He literally is up running to get the car on, puts the emet on and rain dropsy. He never got to get back in the car. Now, And there was some contrary, I don't really. They tried to wait it out, and you know, some people were like, gosh, they could have called this early because everybody knew it was going to rain, but they were trying to get Larson in the car and people were there to watch Larson. I mean, I hate it when a sport doesn't recognize that. You had other drivers mad, you had other team owners. Shut up, understand what people are there to watch Larson? I mean promoting your sport. And that is what Kevin Harvick has always complained to member because he's right. At the end of the day, Larson is not going to be voted the most popular driver. It'll be Chase Elliott and he's not. And you're like, come on, that's not right, Like our most popular driver should be our best driver. And he's right about that one because Larson. People are there to see Larson, not not against Chase Elliott. Chase is great, but he ain't Larson. Yea, And kudos to Kevin coming up an hour number two for calling that like really early. I mean we laughed at him, Oh, Carolina Covin, Yes, I mean we thought this guy, yeah, but dude, when you see him like you said qualifying that dude was like he lived in that car, had been in there for his whole life. Yeah, that's just nuts, funny thing for me. On I guess it was Sunday. Yeah, I was at a buffet and they had the race on. So I went back to the table. I sat there. I bet you I sat there for two minutes just looking at the race to see the scroll, to see where Larson went, because I knew he started fifth, Yeah, and he wasn't on the list, And so I texted you what happened to Larson? Did he just? I thought maybe he ran. I thought maybe he ran to Charlotte. I thought maybe since he started, he had to get Charlotte. Did he not start? And you said, it's still raining. I was like, I've been watching last year's race. So New Garden did go on to win, which was phenomenal because Pado Award was leading on the last lap and your exciting was that, Yeah, and you don't know, like you, I don't he let off in that one turn and didn't pass him. Yeah, to wait later, I'm wondering if he'd passed him then, if he would have, you know, just had because it was a momentum thing, and even new Garden said, and if you go back and look, I really didn't pay attention when he passed him. Dude passed him on the outside of that turn, which nobody had done that all day. Yeah, and it's dangerous. And he said it was either gonna stick or it wasn't. Yeah, at that mile and air are you nuts? Thirty four? Yeah? I felt for Award. I did too. You could see, man, And I'm so happy that we have athletes that wear it. Yeah, like that dude wore man. He had his head down and it sucked. You know. It's kind of funny you say that, But if Tyler Reddick looks like that after wrecking Busher, it's like, come on, man, you wissy. You know what I mean? There is a difference. Yeah, but I mean I don't know if Tyler Reddick or does that after finishing second twice at the five hundred, going into the last lap, I could just you could see this. He knows that your time is limited. You're not guaranteed to have a car every year that's gonna win. So yeah, but anyway, that's good race. Uh, Monico. Just to follow up on that, Charles Leclair one at Monico, and that is where he was born and raised. It was Monica, so that's kind of cool. I can't really gauge Red Bull. I don't know if there's anything going on or if this is just a fluke that you know. That's why I can't wait till they get to normal tracks again. Yeah, because Monico, all it takes is one slip and uh, for Stapping did do that. I mean he slipped and hit the wall, and I mean after that, you're done. So they're so which is more impressive of how well for Stepping has done because they're so close every week and yet he's always on the pole and yet it takes just a slip and you're done, and yet he doesn't. Right, it's amazing. Coaxede hundred we talked about. The winner of that was Christopher bell yawn. I mean you come to his haller at whatever it was midnight and congratulating and that was lame. Yeah. But sr X or SRX, sr s h R Stuart Hast Racing is closing its doors. That's shocker, Yeah, absolute shocker. What the hell? I don't they've won two championships right, Yeah with him, Miss the Boss Tony Stewart. Yeah, with both with Harvick, right, I think so? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw a little snippet of Harvey, because that's the guy I want to hear from. He knows the ins and out. So he he said, the interesting thing about this is how it will shape the rest of the garage, meaning there are current teams that are going to steal these great people that are with them, and he said, trust me, there are great people there that will benefit these other teams. So it's gonna it's gonna be a ripple effect up and down Pitt Lane, whether it be tire changers, engineers, crew chiefs, whatever, they're not. These people aren't just gonna follow wherever the charter goes. Does that make sense. They're gonna get plucked and they're gonna go to So the rumors that I've heard so far is that three of the charters, one's going to Front Road Motorsports, So now they'll have three teams. Didn't they just let mcdale go? Yeah? Yeah, I wonder if he thinks Crag shouldn't have done it. I don't know. He's got to be ended up somewhere good because he's won last couple of years. Which is crazy in that car. But so they'll pick up a charter. And I think our FK is what they're talking about now, is picking up a charter. So who would I wonder who they would take. If you're Barry, I think you would be better off at RFK than you would be. It's amazing how ourfk's are. Like, come on now, yeah, I think as I'm reading this thing here, it's Stuart is the first victory, Tony Stewart was an owner. Oh that's right. Yeah, and then Kevin Harvick gave them the second one. Yeah in twenty fourteen. Yeah, so yeah, it's it gonna be interesting where the charters go. I know, Denny Hamlin, I think is buying one possibly and tell you man, a bigger story. It might be what the hell is going on with Tony Stewart. I mean, how did he give out? Why did Hoss give up on it? I mean that might be the bigger story. Tony Steart's just aloof he was doing SRX. It's not like you're doing the end of the season. We're in the middle of the season and you're talking about, hey, at the end of this year, the poor job. Yeah, it's crazy, be more to it. Yeah, and you know these other sports, boy they can't wait to give you the inside. But Nascar, where do you go to get? And then I heard race Hup is going Yeah, they already announced that. Where will you get your Nascar news? Here is where you'll get it. Yeah, only on life, liberty, happiness. A lot of people tell me they say it too much. Sorry, I'll move on on to the NBA. Yeah, a lot of people. I have a lot of a lot of people talk to me. Tell those a lot of people to find something to do. Celtics called fans, a lot of people. NBA Celtics are in the finals. Yeah, they pretty much dominated Indianna. Once Hallibert went down, you kind of knew that was going on. Yeah. Uh, Dallas is up three games to one. Minnesota did clawback and can get a win last night. Man, I hope they can find a way. I thought Jamal Crawford, if you remember him, had an interview with him today and he just didn't seem to think that. He said it was good for them to get a win because it helps that franchise. Yeah, but they're just not compatible with their Defensively, they were the number one defensive team in the NBA, but they don't match up well at all with Dallas. Here's what I think is crazy. Like I thought the Kyrie Irving move was the dumbest thing any sports team could do. But man, that generation of the young guys, which is what the Timberwols are, they worship Kyrie Irving. He's like the man, you know what I mean, And so it's almost like they give him too much that Well, it's interesting you say that because that question was asked yesterday on McAfee show, where he said that secretly the locker room does root for him Kyrie because of the stance he took. Oh dude, I mean that's what I mean. I'm a fan of Kyrie's. Well I wasn't before, but the guy stood on principle when everybody else wanted to kill him. I mean, I don't know that I've seen. Well, maybe maybe the joker went through a lot too sure their fact stands and what they had to take for that. Yeah, that's crazy. I kind of root for him as much as I cannot stand the Luca guy, the rec ball player. I like Kyrie so much that I kind of hope he wins another one. Yes, I did. I mean, how though, I am rooting for the Celtics because I like that group. They've suffered too, I mean Brown and Tatum. This would be their thirty million finals. Yeah, I think. I mean, I'm certain they're gonna win. I would, I would think they're gonna win. Whoever comes out of the West. Now, it's good if the Mavericks do come out. That's interesting because don't forget Kyrie went to the Celtics and just bombed. That's true, he was not good. He would love to stick it to him. Yeah, and they would love to stick it to him. Well. I think got Drew Holliday. What a pick up that one. Yes, it's a great pickup. Yeah, and bringing back Horford Brad Stevens is done. Now, I didn't see that coming. I'm sorry. I don't know when he It was a shocker to me that he left and went to the Celtics to be the coach. And then it was even more of the shocker than he ended up in the front office. Like what was Danny Inge thinking when he left? Made a good, good choice, but leaving, Yeah, Danny Inge, I mean, my god, how long are you going to keep doing it? Well? He's with the Sons. Oh yeah, he didn't retire. Oh well, speaking of NBA, you didn't mention or do you have it later, Bill Walton? I do not have it later. That would be a good time to mention it. Legendary basketball play announcer, free with free spirit, connoisseur, or whatever you want to call it. He's protester, yeah, all those things. There was a time where I absolutely hated Bill Walton, couldn't hated as I guess his politics got to me or whatever. But once I became more of a libertarian myself, man, I just loved games that he did. I mean I just did. My mom could not stand it because he didn't talk about the game at all. Right, they would go up and down and he'd be talking about some concert he went to, and I love. But then when he did come in, he would always go, oh, can we please make a shot? Yes? And You're like, it's I hear you too, You're right, yes, see, somebody make a shot? Oh please? You know he was just got. He was so good at that. But you know what's ironic. Remember what conference would he brag on every time he did again? Oh, the PAC twelve and the PAC twelve is done, and now he's done. I think that's kind of Yeah, the Bill Walton Conference. They should have a new conference and just call it the Bill Walton Conference. People can freely come in and freely leave. So who was the guy you were telling me? I can never think of his name that I love following on Okay Sports the case of Cackage that Dan Dan Dockett Jockic. All right, I've become a fan of his. Yes, he's good, and he does a Bill Walton impersonation. But he said that Bill Walton would always drive. You know the guy that Bill Walton was the last few years doing games with, Yeah, he would drive. He drives his play by play guy crazy because he doesn't talk to the guy before the game on purpose. Okay, he would say save it for the game, like and he said he'd be up in the stands and he talked to the people. He'd talked to athletes, he talked to coaches, and then right when the game started he would sit down in the boots. God, he wanted to keep it real. He wanted the conversation. He's like, I don't want to be authentic. I didn't want to talk about anything before I wanted to be authentic. Yes, that's great. So moving on. Sports is brought to you by CNS Businesses.

All right. This is what I call dumb decisions equal dumb results. This is your boy that we like, John Stossel. Yes, all right, John Lovestil does a This is about a two minute clip, so follow along with this. But this is John Stossel talking about the newly implemented twenty dollars minimum wage out in California. And this is crazy because they are going nuts over it like it has. He has just saved the world. Gavin Newsom, Yes, right, yeah, all right, cut one, What did they do well? California's political geniuses, in the name of helping workers have once again passed the law that kills jobs. The minimum wage for fast food workers will rise to twenty dollars an hour. We need this, We need this so badd we need this, as this union activist, and in California, what unions want, they generally get. California approved the higher minimum just for fast food workers. We did this, my workers, We did this. But what they really did was lose nearly ten thousand fast food jobs. Pizza Hot preemptively laid off twelve hundred delivery drivers like Michael o'hada. What's the point of the raise if you don't have a job anymore. The new law also caused prices to rise. A reporter ask Governor news can Californians expect the prices of their McDonald's and Starbucks to go? I've heard that rhetoric before and it didn't happen. But it did happen in this case. Even for the new minimum took effect. McDonald's, Chipotle, and Starbucks already saying they planned to raise prices to offset the rising labor costs, and there was other damage. Some restaurants said, we're no longer hiring, We're not growing in the state anymore. Others just closed. The owner of this restaurant texted, I couldn't survive the mandated wage increases, and now that the twenty dollars minimums take an effect, restaurants in the state have increased prices by ten percent faster than all other states. A cup of Starbucks coffee may not cost fifteen percent more a Chipotle chicken burrito eight percent more. Thank you for making this happen. How can California's politicians be so foolish? Don't they know about supply and demand. If you force people to raise wages, they'll either raise prices, cut jobs, or replace workers with machines. Almost everything here is made by machines. The fries landlock called Flippy Flippy the frob. I mean, it's just it's beyond me, how stupid. And I guess what I don't understand is the people there Trent that are just going nuts over it. Yes, we did this, then they're all unemployed. So back in the nineties, I remember rushling Ball when they were saying raise the minimum wage, and it was probably he's just he's like, yeah, it's like, why don't we make it fifty an hour. Let's just make it fifty an hour, and let's make everybody rich and guess what's going to happen. And of course we all know. Yes, I just looked up while that clip was being played being played, California has the highest unemployment rate in the Union. Yeah, I mean in our country, it's crazy, and nobody cares. This guy's going to be the one that's going to come into the to the DNC. I mean, we think of two people that's going to come into the DNC and save them in August, Mike or Gavin. Yeah. Right. I saw an article today that interested me. It was Mansion. Not that they're trying to get him to save they don't like him, yeah, but they are begging him to not get out of West Virginia and to run again. They are begging him, which tells me one thing, Trent. They are seriously worried about the Senate. You're not begging Mansion as a Democrat. You're not begging him to stay in the race. Unless you have serious concerns of other losses within the country. Yeah, that's crazy to think that they are begging him. Now, this is the guy they wanted kicked out. You know, I believe I don't know how to look this up. There are states, and it may be one or two Alabama, Mississippi that don't have a minimum wege. Oh, yes, no, I think they're look this up, Emma, if you can. I want to say it's it's like twenty two states. It was shocking to me. Okay, it was a couple. So if there is no minimum wage, obviously what happens is if you paid this guy to little, he would just go somewhere else to work, so you can't. So it's the capital capitalist sets always sets the rate. Yes, and they're just every time they think they're sticking it to the man that's the owner. What does the owner do sticks it to the man, sticks it to the employee, I mean, sticks it to the to the customers. Yes, there is no sticking it to the man. You're sticking it to yourself. You're sticking it to the people that you think you're helping. It's the same thing I've always said about student loan debt. It's the dumbest thing, the forgiveness. Yes, okay, let's say you have one hundred thousand dollars loan and they forgive it. Do you understand that the rest of your life you're paying for it, even after you would have paid for it, you're going to continue to pay for it. Well, essentially, what that also means is we all have student loans. That's what I'm saying. We all do, including the person that just got you know what, I'm saying, they're paying higher taxes because the dumbass thing about it is that one hundred thousand dollars rate that we all think is overpriced in the first place, which is probably more like four hundred thousand if you're out of state, if or two hundred thousand for sure. I digress. We all see that that's overpriced. What we didn't do is make them start driving it down because we don't fund it. It's crazy. We allow it to stay artificially high because they're taking care of their liberal so stupid professors. What'd you find out? It said? Five? Okay, maybe you're closing. I thought it was more state. I guarantee you they're on the southeast. It is it's Tennessee, Georgia or Tennessee, Welle, Mississippi, South Carolina, Albama, Louisiana. I had to ask Perry if he ever has to, because Perry does the hiring four Aldie. Yeah, I had to ask him about that. Yeah. But if you then tell all of those guys that they have to make twenty dollars an hour, sure people just close up shop. We need to do some research. Do you remember the company out in Seattle that decided it was going to pay all of its employees the exact same, Yes, seventy five thousand a year. Every one of them. Didn't last. It didn't last a year, no way it could have. It did not last a year. They were going to pay all of their employees seventy five thousand, no matter what. Yep. And so the good ones left because why would you stay. Yeah, I'm not gonna make the same thing as that guy over there is not working. That's what happened when this country was founded, exactly in Jamestown. That's exactly right. If we're all gonna be Utopians and we're all going to pitch in, well, then some people aren't pitching in, and they shouldn't read the reward exactly anyway. All right, Earlier today we had the privilege of sitting down with Congressman Bob Good. Yeah, here is a clip of the long interview we had. You can listen to the entire interview exclusively only on the Grove Street FM app. So make sure you download the app and you can listen to the over hour long interview. This is just a clip. This was the just to set it up. This was the part where we talk about the Freedom Caucus. Some people may not know what freedom Caucus is. This is their interview earlier today with Bob Good cut too the can you speak a little bit? Look so brown and I read enough about politics to be dangerous, and we do a show which is even more dangerous. Can you describe what the Freedom Caucus is exactly? That that's part. Caucus Chairman was started in I think twenty fifteen. I wasn't there at the time, of course, but by Mark Meadows, former Congression North Carolina Trump's chief of staff, and Jim Jordan, and they were the first two Chairman Jordan first and then Mark Meadows, followed by Andy Biggs from Arizona, Scott Perry from Pennsylvania then myself. And by the way, I'm so thankful and privileged to be entrusted with the leadership with the Freedom Caucus. I want to draw a contrast there for you chairman of committees, like I got a couple of chairmen ofmittee supporting my opponent. They are not elected by the members. We members have no say I'm on the budget committee, I'm on the Education Workforce Committee. We don't get to pick our chairman. The party boss is the establishment leadership picks the chairman. And there's three ways you get to become a chairman of a committee in Washington. Number one, raise money for the party. Of course, that clearly qualifies you to run a committee. How much money raise? Two, do whatever the party tells you to do. They tell you how to vote, they tell you what to do, and you you run the play the team calls, irrespective of what you believe your own integrity. And thirdly, be an establishing minor at Rhino. And that's how you get to be a chairman of a committee. Generally the Freedom Caucus. The thirty five members of the caucus vote and select their chairman. So the members of the Freedom of Caucus to select me as the chairman back in December or start to serving January takeover for Scott Perry from Pennsylvania. But the Freedom Caucus exists, I would say for two reasons. One to be the conservative conscience, the conservative anchor of the book and party that we ought to be who we say we are, do what we say we will do, stand for the things we say we will stand for, fight for the things we should to fight for, and actually hold true to what we say we're about as Republicans. I often say, it doesn't matter what you believe if you're not willing to fight for what you believe. We all know good people around us. We sit by them in church on the sundayre maybe they're in our family, or they're our friends or our neighbors. Good solid people who love the country, love the Lord, love the right things. But we wouldn't necessarily follow them into battle. They're not really fighters, risk takers, tough so in politics or it doesn't matter what you believe it you're not willing to fight for, so Freedom Call because is the conservative anchor of the party. Secondly, we are willing to challenge our own party when we're wrong. We're Constitution first, country first, principal first. And because we're conservatives and were constitutional conservatives, and I say, courageous conservative warriors, we have no choice but to be Republicans because the Democrat parties become communists who hate the founders, hate the constitution, hate the country, hate the principles upon which we found them. So the Democrat Party, they're in law step there. Whether they talk like moderates, like the one who wants to be our governor, or our two senators who vote like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they feel bad about it, they talk like moderates. When they come back to the district, the Dems vote in lockstep. There's no daylights worth the difference between Abigail Spanberger and aoc or, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, and again Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren. They all vote the same. They all vote the same now because and here's the other difference, by the way Democrats run is half of them they run as moderates, and they all vote like communists. Republicans all run as conservatives, but half of them vote like moderates when they get there. It's the total opposite of that, and then what the party tells you. You know what, just vote for this. You know what, UH will will cover you in your district. We'll spend money in your district, will come down and do fundraisers for you. We'll put you on a better committee assignment, will help you even though you're doing what your voters don't want you to do in your district, will cover for you. And they hate the Freedom Caucus because now, especially when we go straight to the public through communication channels, we expose them, We name and shame them. They get mad at me for telling people how they voted. I'm like, if you say that's the good for your district because you got you should want people to know how you vote. I'm just trying to help you. And matter of fact, you can tell all of the voters in my district how I voted because I stand behind what I did and I want them to know it. Why don't you want the people in your district to know how you voted? And it really is incredible just a snippet. Man, we telling you the whole hour. As soon as we finished, I was like, man, I could do another hour. Yeah, And he has so much energy and just like that all the way through. Yes. Yeah, and so Monday is it? Monday is his event? Oh? Yes, yeah, he's got Ram Paul coming. Rand Paul will be there, Matt Gates too, right. Oh, I don't know, I think so, Yeah, I need to check that out. So he's got that event coming up. I need to RSVP that I forgot. You have to get me that information. Yeah, I'll find it. Yep. It's a Redeeming Grace, Redeeming Grace Church. Yeah. So uh, anyway, thanks to Congressman Good for coming in sitting down with us. Never heard from the opponent. Yeah, I'm just saying he's not here. That's huge for us man. Yeah, I mean I just love that. Yeah, he's uh. But thanks to Bob Good for spending some time. He's uh. He's being primaried and people are backlashing against him, but he's doing the work. Yeah. That's what I like about, you know, if you're going to boots on the ground and working, and that's what he's doing, and there's no doubt about it. I've been to a couple of his rallies that have high energy. He mentions it in the podcast about how many people come to his rallies versus the other guy, and and it is it just feels like ground swell. It's like you're working on when I hate, I mean personally, I hate that Trump has endorsed the other guy. Yeah, MacGuire, I just I don't know why. I still don't understand. Well, I think you're thinking way too much into it. And the only reason I say that is I think one Trump is is on trial and so its focus is there, but it's also in other things, right, I mean, he's in his own presidential race, and so I think the endorsements come to him and they're probably, hey, there, these are who we've selected. And that goes back to what he said earlier. You've got a group of politicians that unfortunately have the ear and are you know, selecting these people that they they want, not necessarily who the voters want. I think people will be fascinated with what he had to say about Kevin McCarthy too, you know, And I think that's where a lot of this is. And I think a lot of people would be shocked to find out that he wasn't endorsed. When he won. Yeah, that was refreshing. Yeah, when I look back and saw that he beat Riggleman, and Wriggleman had the endorsement of Trump. He's done this before. He's one without Trump. Sure, and it was crazy, as he'll vote for everything that Trump would have voted for more than likely. Yeah, and I don't think Trump not That's what I wanted to say. I think Trump not selecting him doesn't mean that he doesn't like Bob Good. I don't think that. Well, we've seen that. I mean we've seen him be little. You mentioned in the Rand Paul, he be little to But we've watched campaign appearances and those guys have been like this, pumping each other. Yeah, it's just part of the battle. Trump's a New Yorker. He fights like a dog. Yes, you know what I mean. Yeah, So yeah, No, it's a great interview. So we will released that. I think it will be released tomorrow. I think he has a set to release tonight right after the show Man. I'll tell you this media squatch. Is there a better company around here? Is it? No? I was trying to think. I was trying to think all the shows I'm on. In all honesty, I mean, they're expanding. Get You've got new offices getting built here. New microphones. This week, we've got studios different you know, studios now got new microphones. It's always upgrading. And this is in our little town of Bedford. And Bob good is just he was impressed. Well everybody is when they come in. They should be. I mean, it's it's just impressive. This is just you know, we hope, we hope Bob wins, and we hope he comes back on the show and gives us, you know, updates that's going on with Congress, and hopefully it'll lead to other interviews with other congressmen. You know. Our hope is we've always said, and I did a little bumper for introducing the the interview that you'll find when you listen to the interview. But I mean, basically I said, our show is a little about everything, a lot about nothing. Yeah, describes their show to a t. Well, you know, we've talked about this about doing longer form interviews, and you know, I cannot stand and I hate calling it out. I won't do it. But when there's a radio program up in Lynchburg and when they do an interview, it's you're up against a commercial. Yeah, the guy that's interviewing doesn't like you yes, and he ambushes you with questions like he's got you, like he's sixty minutes or something. I'm going to get you on with this question. I don't want to. I mean, I love that we let a man talk. Yeah, I didn't know his background. I didn't know he wrestled. You mentioned that. I was like, man, you got that right off the bat, and I was like, whoa, that is some good reasons. Oh yeah he was. He was a very talented wrestler. But his family yeah was. I mean he grew up with wrestlers, and I knew Jim Jordan was a good wrestler. I didn't know he was that elite. Oh yeah, I saw Trump talk about him. I'd heard he was really good. So anyway, you'll catch the full interview later on. But that was just a snippet and it is. It is a lot of good information. So if you're on the fence, listen. I think you'll enjoy it. If you're not and you haven't voted yet, please go out and vote. Yeah. Go. You can vote almost anytime before June eighteenth. June eighteenth is the deadline, and then there's two saturdays before that too, so it's Monday through Friday you can vote. Then there's two Saturdays coming up you can vote. Hopefully, if it gets re elected, we'll go back to just voting on election day. Yeah, maybe we can get that done. I'm kind of liking the early shut it all right in local news. Quickly, I will get to that. Unfortunately, a body of Tiffany for Tuna was found in Lynchburg off Garfield Avenue. The forty three year old female that's from Gus. Yeah. I had heard it this weekend. I thought I knew there was a girl from Amherst that was missing, and I was hoping it wasn't her, and it wasn't. But unfortunately it was some money from Augusta gowny. Wow. That's awful. Uh. There really wasn't anything else on that other than I think they had found their body in a tote, which is not good. I mean, this is stuff we should not be hearing about in Lynchburg. What's a tote? Is that a box or a bag? Yeah? Like a tote like you would like a container to Okay, Yeah, I pictured a bag. No, that'd be a peak anyway. Now on to eighty million, Life's Liberty Happiness eighty million minds. Come on, man, Brian fly Wait, truth over facts? All right? This is Joe's sitting down with Jake Tapper. Oh god, have you seen this? No, I don't think so. And they're at the Ford manufacturing facility, and of course they got the Ford lightning behind them. And it is so sad that the links that they go to to try to make him look so aviator presidential, the whole nine. Right, So the question again is about his abilities as as a president, and even when he's trying to make a point of how his faculties are fine, Yeah, it's back to what it was originally. How dude, you can't even get through that like a fly cut three. Just look at us, okay, just look at us. Who seems to be in shape, who's able to move around? What is I mean this idea of you know, slow Joe? Anyway, I shouldn't laugh about it because anyway, Donald Trump, just look at us. Both watch us and determine whether or not you think I'm misleading anymore. Not you PreCure personally, but the public, you know, look at me. Sorry, all I'm saying is if you're asking somebody about their mental faculties and you go, hey, just look at us. Wouldn't you follow up with? Dude? I get up every morning, I go to briefings. You know, I do this, I do that. You can spit off things that make you He goes, uh, I mean you can't even get through a sentence. The whole room thing is so funny watching him try to move around. And then when he marched a Memorial Day and the guy's leading him, it's like they're leading a dog. Oh, it's horrible. The guy uses his arms to show him where we're gonna walk towards, so he knows he's walking in the right direction. Crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Yeah, all right, that wraps up our number one.

Oh you need to cut about five seconds off that. Yeah, trim, that's a job. Oh my god, it just keeps going. I don't go ahead, get to your tops in please to day's is top ten politicians. I like the thing here you said. The music was would good? Good time for a good time? Uh? Top ten politicians. Yeah, and some of these you are gonna like, but some of these kind of show you the transformation of me as an individual too. I'm right in the camp with you, all right. So my number ten George Allen. I thought George Allen was a terrific governor of Virginia. I was always a big fan. I'm not sure he did much of anything when he was their senator, which is probably why he got voted at. Yeah. I think it was Mukaka that got him. Oh yeah, I remember that. Ye. Number nine, Lacey Putney. Now I can tell you I never really knew Lacey. I'd met him a few times at the Avenue, at the Kentucky Derby party before he passed away, and then at his funeral. Obviously, he was a very well respected individual from this area. And it's one of the things we touched based with with Bob good is there's not a lot of southwest Virginia politicians anymore, and he was a very powerful one. So Lacey Putney is on my list. Yeah. He had a lot of pool and got a lot of stuff here in Bedford. Plus I didn't know this. He was the longest politician in Virginia Yeah, longest serving serving. Yeah. I believe his portrait is up in the chamber still right beside Jefferson by the way. Uh. Number eight Jack Kemp. Love Jack Kemp back in the day. Matter of fact, if I could have voted, I would have voted Jack Kemp over George Bush when he was running, because Kemp ran against Bush. Yeah, I remember that. I wish. I wonder how life would have been different for the whole country if Reagan had chosen Jack Kemp instead of George Bush. And Kemp would have been the right choice. Yeah, he was more in line. I didn't know that Kemp was the architect of trickle down economics. Yeah, yeah, he was fantastic. Yeah. Number seven Newt Gingrich and Nuke Gingridge is important to me because Newt is a dreamer, right, I mean, he believes America could be and should be the greatest, and he's willing to take those chances. And I've always respected Newt Gingrich. He's number three on my list. He's one of those that to this day, if he's on the channel that I flipped through I stopped to listening. Yes, say yeah. Number six is Matt Gates, and I put Matt Gates up this high simply because I thought, to be honest with you, he's one of the few that sort of just was willing to do the dirty work and get things happening. I mean, if you remember his early career, he was kind of laughed off as being crazy, Yeah, the nutcase. He has slowly but surely built a coalition, if you want to call it that, that is, it's a coalition to be dealt with. I mean there and they will hold your feet to the fire. And I've always wanted that, and I like that in Matt Gates. You know, I've been to a rally. It was a Bob Good rally that Matt Gates spoke, and I, honest to god, after he was done, thought that dude should run for president. He was so natural, so good, such a leader, had a way to motivate, just common sense, plain speak. And you don't think that when you look at him, you think it's Wall Street. You think he's a Wall Street guy. But man, he gets down in the dirt. I mean, I really enjoy him. I can't wait to see where he ends up, right, I mean, don't forget they try to take him down. Yeah, I mean the political powers tried to drum up a story of underage sex trafficking and all that stuff. Remember that, Yeah, number five, And he grew on me quickly as Tim Scott. Now I put him of this high up. But at the same time, I'm really I'm a little I do think he is a rising star, and I was won over by his speech at ou His entire speech was terrific, and I think he's been getting better and better and better. But I also think he's one of those that two years from now we could find out he's as bad as Nicky Hayley. And I don't know, and the jury is still out, and I hope that's not the case, but probably I could have inserted somebody there. But I liked him Scott at five. I like hearing number four Ron DeSantis. Ron is a fighter, and so I've got him that high number three him at four, that's what I've got him. Four number three, I've got Ran Paul because Rand Paul has probably been the most influential outside of Reagan who's coming up on my list, but on my political you know, of ways, if you want to call it that, my political thinking. Rand Paul literally transformed me from the way of thinking that. I used to think I was. Dude, I was lockstep right there with the Republican Party in the two thousands. Yep, everything they said I was all for. And you had that one guy that's out there going this ain't right, this ain't right. And I used to say, God, is he nuts to think that we can't we shouldn't be fighting. You know, this is crazy. And now, dude, he has been right about almost everything. And his leadership on COVID was amazing. When I say that I've gotten older and become a more libertarian, I think that's rand Paul's part of that. He's grown with me on that. Yeah, I mean his stance on COVID and everything else, that's yeah. I became a big fan. Number two is Donald Trump. Again. He would never have been high on this list. I am not ashamed to tell you in twenty sixteen, I did not vote for Donald Trump in the primary because I didn't know what he was. I did vote for him in the general election because the alternative was Crooked Hillary. And so I did vote for him, and he didn't meet my expectations. He blew him out of the water. If all the stuff they were trying to do to tear him down. He was still getting stuff accomplished. I think people really underestimate how much he got done when they were constantly drumming up stuff. I thought about this the other day. Do you remember when they released the transcripts of him talking to Putin? But don't We can't get transcripts of anything Joe Biden's done. Why you know how we don't know what what what Joe Biden's been talking to Zelenski? Yeah, we don't know nothing. Why not? Who who released the transcripts of Reagan or the Trump? So anyway? But number one is Reagan. Ronald Reagan, And because he was probably the most influential not only in my political thinking but also my life. I mean I always thought that even you know, there's a delicate way of doing things, in a gentleman way of doing things, and he always, even when he was tough, he always knew how to beat you the right way. Yeah. Uh, And so I guess Ronald Reagan is my number one. I've got the same almost identical list, but just to make it a little different, I actually put Trump one, but I could do Regan. I love the professionalism Reagan. I just think also that Trump saved us when we had to be saved. I guess Reagan did too. But Trump has changed politics. I mean he's changed who runs the first town council, you know what I mean. He really did change a lot of stuff and put America first. So that's why I kind of gave him the nod at number one and newt I had three, Reagan I had two. I had. I had Yunkin up there as a politician. For a guy said take a well essentially which the blue state and be able to get elected was really good Desantus. Here's one that wasn't on your list, but I always enjoyed the guy. I'm not sure that I still like him as much, but Giuliani as a politician, that guy being able to become governor, you know what I mean, or in the city's mayor, all that stuff. Was he governor? No, Okay, just to New York is amazing. Here's a name for a politician that you're probably not gonna like, but I always like listening to the guy. Jesse Ventura as a politician, I mean, he represented the people of Minnesota and those crackpots. But what I liked about him is you knew what he thought. Sure, you know what I mean, he wasn't he wasn't blowing smoke. Now, he was telling you what he thought straight up, had his views. There's no doubt you had mentioned lazy Putney and George Allen, Steve Newman. Is that for me? I just love a local guy that just is a nice but honest and he and when you listen to him, you know he knows the budget. Yes, you know what I mean. He's done his homework. He's not a lazy politician. He's done it. So those are those guys. How about how about this right off? Who you've been fooled by? Oh gosh, that's a long list. Man. Well, Mitt Romney is number one. I got him as number two. Mitt Romney is. I saw him on an interview the other day and that, dude, you can't get any worse like they all. That was a group of politicians, including I think Bob Good that was in New York to support Trump. And meanwhile Mitt Romney's doing an interview with a person is asking him about that, and he says, yeah, it's a mistake, you know, And it's like, are you that stupid? His hatred for Trump is beyondesly and listen, his hatred comes down to one thing, and one thing only. He wasn't selected for Secretary of State bingo. Yeah, it's and that just tells you everything you need to know about that guy. Yeah, like he's he's right there with Hillary Clinton, because think about it, the dude was governor of Massachusetts, runs for president and then becomes a senator out in Utah or where was it, and it's like, he'll go anywhere. I've got John McCain as my number one guy. And I was so disappointed. And when I mean fooled by, Like I was like, what you said earlier, we should fight everywhere or a patriot or flag. And then after a while you start realizing. You start listening here in Trump and you start hearing Rampaul what are we doing that for? Yeah, and he called him the maverick. And then you go back and look and you go, wait a minute, he brokeer deals that absolutely killed us as a party. Paul Ryan right there, and you're, oh, right at the top, fooled by. And then I got some guys that aren't politicians. Carl Rove, Yeah, I just hey, how about Eric Canter. I don't know anything about him lately. I thought it was funny that Bob Good brought up that Eric Cant name. Yeah, that dude is still bitter. John Bolton I thought he was the best name. He was going to be the best Secretary of State ever, and then he's just the war mondering fool whatever. Yeah, whatever he's got to do to make money to go sell a book. It's what it seems like lately. Mike Pence has just disappointed me. Jeff Bush, Yeah, people that I really thought were and they just disappointed me. So anyway, I think I think Mike Pence is a good politician. Uh and he state, Yeah, he does not belong at the federal level. Yeah, and I mean that because I met him at D Day. You know what. It reminds me. He's a genuine person. Nor of Turner. He was a great offensive coordinator, but he couldn't coach no right, Mike pins could be above the fray, don't. I don't want to get into it within one yep. But when you're with Donald Trump, you're gonna have to get into You gotta roll up. And the person that nobody talks about, Mark Meadows, left Congress to be Trump's right hand man essentially, and he's never left him. He's still there. By the way, he's the one getting prosecuted in all these cases. He got charged again in Arizona recently. And I mean, that's a guy that is doing it for his country. And I get tickled at these idiots out here that that say, oh my god, if you re elect Trump. I mean, this is what Hitler last I checked. Hitler's men weren't being prosecuted before Hitler became Hill. One of the Trump boys said today, because they're going to the jury deliberations on that farce trial, said that he had never even so much as had a parking ticket until his dad became president, and he's been subpoenaed one hundred and forty one times. It's just it's come on, it's a joke. By the way, in that trial, did you hear today what the judge told the jury, Yeah, that they don't have to be a unanimous for a guilty plea. Well, I heard something a little different, but I guess it's probably on that same He said they did not have to agree, yeah, to come up with it, which I don't know how you come up if you don't agree with each other. Well, whatever happened to you got to be you know, without a reasonable doubt. Well, I mean I don't. I may be wrong, but I mean they do have to have a twelve zero I can't to my knowledge. No. So what I read on Twitter was his words were to them, even if you guys can back four to four to four meaning for guilty for not guilty, four don't know, I, as the judge can then decide, oh my god, that it could actually be you know. Then that's I mean, come on, listen, all they ever listen. We all know nobody cares once they get the guilty verdict they're looking for. It doesn't matter whether he goes to jail or he goes away. They just want to say he's a convicted fellow exactly. That's it. Even when he gets overturned that they still want to say he's a convicted Hey, he was a convicted felon. No it was overturned. No, I mean, that's that's all they want. So I was listening to Clayon Travis or whatever I screw up every week. The guy that's the expert was saying, Hey, I think there's going to be easily twelve nothing in favor of Trump because they didn't prove anything. But certainly there's going to be a couple to hold out to keep them from being found guilty. Yeah. So all along I've been thinking, and this guy's supposed to know. And today the judge tells them, all, hey, just as long as y'all have a majority, all right. I haven't heard that yet, but I did hear where he said you don't have to agree with each other to be able to come up with a unanimous verdict. But I guess maybe he's telling them they can do something different. I don't know it was. It was kind of the hot hoot today, but I do know that they recessed without a verdict, So I guess it's just drawing out stupid. Oh well, you've got time for having it. Let's do it. I just got three things to say. God, bless our troops, God bless America. Start all right, a little fun for have at it. This first clip, you're gonna have to pay really attention, close attention. One of my mom's favorite game shows, obviously Jeopardy Number one, but Will of Fortune is right there, my gosh, So let's hear this solution to the puzzle cut twenty one, Tomorros right in the butt? What no blake? That is the best? Yeah? That's that's it? All right? Replay, replay what is you say? You can hear? What is this? Answer? Was? Just where we get we'll cut it off. Tomorros right in the butt. Who's the woman that said one of the one of the people testined? Gosh nowadays? I mean, who knows? It's funny you say that we had a local person on will of fortune? Oh really? Yeah, business owner right up the street here. Oh, why am I drawing a blank on her? Something? Merchant Natalie? No, her name is Wiley, her last name, but it's from Forest. But she owns being mercantile. Okay that BV mercantile or something like that name. All right, so let's go to dumbasses. We have in one clip there's dumbassy and smart. Okay, okay, all in one clip. One is your president how he is as a leader, and the other is to follow up right behind that with Trump. So let's play. We can play the first one for me yelling need about fifteen seconds, but you can hear his attitude. You missed your high school graduation. You start a college, just as George Floyd was murdered murdered and there was a reckoning on race. What kind of angry he looks too? Natural? Wonder democracy you hear about actually works for you? What is democracy? The black matter being killed in the street? What is democracy? Portrayal of broken promises? Slow, leave black black communities behind? What is democracy? Okay? That's good now if you can switch for the other half. Yeah, So it doesn't matter whether you're black or brown, or white or whatever the hell color you are. It doesn't matter. We are all Americans and we're going to pull together as Americans. It's true people. Okay, do you know where he was or harlemn? Yeah, all right, my mom told me this that there's in NBC News or Nightly News, whatever one it was, was interviewing people who claimed that those people that were at the rally in the Bronx were busted in. Yes, okay, that's what they said. Let's just say that's the truth. Do you honestly think people who live in the Bronx would allow that to happen? Yeah, dude, that would have been a nasty event if that. If that was the case, they wouldn't allowed you to do that in their own backyard. So the other thing they did was an aerial shot and to say that the twenty five thousand number was greatly exaggerated and so the aeriel just shows like this crowd around in it probably was five thousand in that crowd. Dude that was at eleven am. They they failed to take that part out of the the equation. He wasn't there, right, Ye, I mean, I just it's sad. It is really sad. But I tell you, one of the things that we did not talk to Bob about that I'd love to next time is TikTok because one of the clips that we talked about. I knew he was going to have. I knew Trump was going to have a big crowd because the TikTok interviews where the lady was going around to guys and people were like the people that lived said yes, we would welcome him to be here. I knew he was going to have a good crowd, and we miss that if you take TikTok away. So yeah, and the thing about that is is he going to win New York? No? But you do those campaign stops there because it shows enthusiasm, and then you go to a city that you may be on the edge with. Yeah, that momentum grows. That's what you're doing it for. And he knows that and he's great at it. Well, I tell you what's cool. Listen to this nice clip. This is how you know it was effective cut thirty four. Well, I'll tell you won't make a difference at all, Jake, and that is for Donald Trump to be the ringleader of and in by all his clowns to a place like the Bronx. New York will never ever support Donald Trump for president. We know him better than anyone, and that means we understand what he's all about. It's just for himself. So this state will go solidly behind Joe Biden for president, as it has in the past. So he wants to spend his time doing these made up, fake rallies and pretending their support. Here be my guest, because while you're doing that, Donald Trump, Joe Biden's out there on the other side making sure he's delivering for all Americans. And so go ahead, spend all your time you want in New York, because we'll be with Joe Biden, and Joe Biden's out there winning over the rest of the battleground states. Do you know who that was, Kathy cloakm Yes, there was the hokal Lady, the governor, Kathy Chokeum. The reason you know it was effective is they immediately got AOC and her on every show that they could. They had to stop the fire. They couldn't let it keep going. They had to get in there and talk about the clowns and listen, there's gonna be a time after the election if Trump wins, that they're going to talk about We rested on our laurels thinking that our base was just gonna win. All right, On to Kevin like a loose what are like gentures and the ice train Carolina can again, yo yo yo. Everybody was compo fit God, all right, Kevin. We had Congressman Bob Good on the program today. I'm curious with you being in South Carolina. What's uh what races are heating up in South Carolina? What's what's the political climate look like in South Carolina? Are you speaking of local or I mean people we would know obviously you've got Tim Scott from South Carolina. Is he running or is he unopposed? Or you know, what's what's the pulse of the Land saying about politics? Are they excited for Trump? Is Lindsey Graham out there boring you to death? What's what's going on with the politics of South Carolina? Well, Lindsey Graham is currently right now in Israel. Okay, that's right, good call. Kevin's got his posse, he knows, he knows his state. Cut you forward. I can't help him. I can't. How was how was Charlotte? Did you get together the race? Do you get what? How to go? I want to tell you something about that, and I want your take on first. I want Trent's take first. Yes, I'm here. I don't want Brian jumping in, blending in, trying to take over this conversation. Okay, sure, show and I can hear I can. I can hear Brian in the background sighing and taking deep breath. He did. But I'm just gonna tell you now, all right, Trent, Yes, right here. The outcome of the Coca Cola six hundred mm h. What are your thoughts? I was I was disappointed that they didn't give them monday to try to finish it. Okay, Now here's my next question. If it was other than the six hundred, if it was the final race of the Cup sea and they were racing wherever. Let's they used to race in Florida. But let's just say they were racing at Talladega and this was the last race. There were only four Cup drivers left in the cut and they were racing to win the championship. Do you think NASCAR would end the way it did at the Coca Cola six hundred or would they extended to race on the next day? Definitely the next day. And why would you say that because they didn't want there's no resolution. You can't end the season on something so lame, Well, then why can't you in the race on something so lame? Then if it's if I'm a driver and I have went out of my way like Kyle Larson to be there racing in Indy, but I got there to race a race, or or anybody if I was a newcomer and I qualified to get there, and I had my uncle sponsor me just to get there and sponsor the tires, and I'm their races. What fairness is it for me to be there in the race? What criteria does it mean just because it's the last race of the year to determine a champion or versus the Coca Cola six hundred. Where's the difference? And my thinking on that is, you had a chance, you had an opportunity, You had one of your store drivers at IndyCar do exceptionally well. Even if it was the next day, which is a day off for most people, they have a chance to turn on the race to see how Kyle Larson does in a track. You have the best, biggest chance to promote your race. And I was sad to see they didn't even run it the next day. So you would agree with me that if it was the last race of the year for the championship, they would have done something differently. Yes, they would have never called the race and let whoever was leading it. I don't know how I can say it another way, Yes, I agree with you. I don't know. I mean what else can I say? Yes, there's no way they're gonna let the season end like that. I don't know why. Why? Why? Why let it in like that Monday? I think that's how it started. Why let it in that way? Yeah? I don't get it either. I'm not I wasn't in there. I mean, honestly, maybe maybe Roger Pinsk or well, or well, Tony Star's content. Maybe Rick Hendrick had somewhere to be. I don't. Let's let's get Brian's take, because he's eager. He's over there huffing and puffing and anyway, I mean, good lord, it's this is no different than it's always been. Why are we now all of a sudden mad on a rain shortened No, we ain't mad, Brian, do your due diligence before you start regurgitating stuff out of your mouth, do your diligence. Well, we always have racisday saying that there has been a races that ended at three thirty and four o'clock in the morning. Okay, but you're your acting as if NASCAR has never had a rain shortened race. They do it all the time. Yeah, but as even you're trying to you're sitting there trying to justify the fact that they called the race. But they have race races. Yeah, facts or that. When's the look it up on your phone and say what is the longest race that ended? What was the early mornings three forty five am? Okay, it was still raining in Charlotte at three forty five am. Negative, ghost Rider, your information is wrong. I live down there. You live in Virginia. I know when it stops raining and starts raining. Trent's original question was did you go to the race? And we are at eight minutes in and we still don't know that answer yet, And I left, and I left, I left the race. This is where the anger is coming from. So you were hoping to go home and be able to watch the race before dawn. The ending the anger is that no one is always on a level field. It has to be always something that that is in there that fits a criteria that doesn't match the criteria before. Just like I said, Stan, why would they not do the same thing to the Coke Cola six hundred for the last race of the year to determine them. But this isn't the last race of the year, and it's not a playoff race. And I think it was easy to do because you had a day off the next day. I'm not disagreeing with you, but your acting is if this is the first time that NASCAR has decided to do this, They've been consistent. If you get past the halfway point and it rains, if they don't think they can get the track dried in a decent amount, of time they call the race. Bubba Wallace won his first race off of rain Shorten. Joey Logano run his offer rain shorten. It's nothing new to NASCAR. What I don't get about that is if it had rained Sunday and they hadn't raced it all, what would they have done? Correct answer, and it hadn't rained it all. If it rained all day Sunday and they hadn't started at all, what would they They would have moved it to Monday? Well, so, what the hell? It was a different Why can't you do two hundred laps on Monday instead of four hundred? Maybe we'll effort having Marcus Smith on and you can ask him that question. Well, if Brian likes to go and veer off somewhere in the left field sometimes, I understand you paid a lot of money. You want to see the ending. I get it. Listen. I don't like Christopher Bell and I thought it sucked, But I'm not going to sit here and trash NASCAR as if they made this idiotic decision when it's a decision they have made a hundred times before. My biggest disappointm was really for Kyle Larson to get that much effort to get to the track that there was no effort to get the race completed. I just, oh, I was so disappointed for him. So, I just I don't think they should have waited as long as they did and then cancel it. If you knew you weren't going to race it after mid night or whatever, you should have canceled it because you knew it was going to rain. And I mean Joe Gibbs thought they were even telling him the race is about to start back up. Apparently they were calling the drivers back to the car. Yeah, something is something's odd about that. Yeah, well, I mean Joe Gibbs used to winning. Mmm do you think he calls it? Yeah? Maybe Donald Trump been I don't know, I did. I think sports. Sports has gotten too political. It's gotten people involved to where it's so much money that's involved. That's that's dictating decisions to cancel, to go ahead with something to to Did Donald Trump start the engines? Donald Trump did not start engines. He didn't, Okay no, but he was at the track. I mean I saw Petty and he was everywhere. It was up on the dagon roof with the Richard Childress. He was in Richard Children's box on the pit box. Huh. Yeah, he sat on the pit box for a while and then he went up with Petty and yeah, it was a lot of celebrities there. Lamar Jackson was there. It was it was it was a bunch of celebrities there and it was literally it kind of felt like the old times when you know which I mean the the MTR commentator that's on the radio, he's retiring this year. That was his last Coke Cola six Yeah, Pat Patterson maybe one of those. So he like summed it up better and in great words when he said that, hey, you know, uh, this is my last Coca Cola six hundred and they said, hey, what would be you know, the best scenario with you, you know, this is your last race at you know Charlotte. He was like, I wish you would come down to calling a race with rookie and a veteran coming down to the last lap like the race we had last week where it was within you know, literally inches, and for him to have something like this, for them to call that race, it's just the political and the money and all that stuff involved. To me, it's running a lot of stuff. When we went to the races. Trent. There was seating for two hundred and eleven thousand people at Charlotte Motor Speedway and it was sold out. Two hundred and eleven thousand people now sold out. They got rid of all the backstretched seats. Now a sold out crowd at Charlotte Motor Speedway is one hundred thousand. Wow, well, one hundred and eleven thousand people, I tell you are not showing up to that race that used to show up. You're making Yeah, I mean that was an example. They make decisions that's about either TV time or commercials, or the people that run the sport, the team owners, But it is not about the one hundred thousand people out in the stands. No, that's gone that that's gone away for what fifteen years now feels like. Although I know, I know our loyal listeners are mad that we're spending way too much time on NASCAR. But just to kind of wrap this up in a bow, the problem you you have is you, unlike other sports, there is a lot of different entities for a race. Does that make sense? You have a NASCAR governing body, but then you have a totally different body that owns the racetrack, and then you have a promotional side that promotes the race and that's you know, and then you have individual franchises if you want to call them that as the uh as the race car themselves, and then you have drivers. I mean, there's a lot of different entities involved. So you do have NASCAR being a governing body, but then you've got a racetrack owner and promoter that's doing different things too. Does that mean it's difficult for all to be on the same page. I'm sure that, But I guess what Kevin is alluding to is what we've been saying. Is I mean, nd for example, had their rain delay and they still had three hundred thousand people, you know what I mean. We get they got lucky that they started eleven in the morning instead of seven at night. Yeah, so that's great for them. Kind of suck for Kyle Larson, but great for them that they start earlier in the day, is it. Yeah, I guess I'll come back, but to your point that the stat that you sent me, it's what NASCAR sees, right, Okay, they got three hundred thousand, but their Exfinity race killed the Indy five hundred, right, The statue sent me was Infinity had Unless I read it wrong. I don't remember seeing Exfinity but maybe I just didn't see it. Yeah, I don't think that was the NASCAR. Yeah, that was the NASCAR race. So the NASCAR race had two and a half million. This is what's crazy. I've been following this. I've been following these stats for about a couple of years now. NASCAR always gets twice what IndyCar gets. An IndyCar gets twice what F one gets, and F one gets twice what like n HR. Yeah, so yeah, so they still have the most fans in America watching the race NASCAR does. But and then I think that's a big number for the IndyCar race for what they normally get. Obviously, but that's just qualifying. So was that just that's not for the actual race? That's that? Oh I didn't see the word qualifying. I don't know. Yeah. But anyway, Well, is he back? He's not back? Maybe he got tired, he did. I guess the glitch did not get fixed. I don't know what he's had other guests. He thought he fixed it, but he didn't know. Oh, well, we'll catch Kevin next week. Let me tell him that the show has dropped. We got We've got a tutlou button anyway to get away from Nascar. We've had too good of a show to ended on NASCAR. Exciting interview today again, we'll be releasing that shortly after this. We hope to have more political uh as well as we're we're always efforting every type of guest, whether it's sports, NASCAR, whether it's baseball or whatever. I mean, we need to there's a gentleman that lives here in Bedford that I need to reach out to. I forget all about it. Bobby Humphreys. I don't know if you remember him. He played for the Saint Louis Cardinals and won a World Series back in the sixties seventies. I believe he might be in the Hall of Fame too. You can't get listeners to give us a list of who they think or even have a contact too to be on the show. I mean, you know, we got lucky to get have Bob Good and who knows what's going to branch out of that after that gets released. Yeah, I really hope he wins, just simply because I think he would definitely come back on. I think he enjoyed his time too. Here. Well, if I'm a politician and I have an hour of two guys that are just asking normal questions, you know what I mean, and I get to speak NonStop, Yeah, we're not gonna cut you off. Yeah, I mean, I mean subject. Bob also needs to understand if he does win, it's because of this show, absolutely right on. If he does not, we should be and we don't think that we should be in his acknowledgment speech, his thank you speech. Oh it definitely should be. Should be mean, Look what we did for Megan Kelly number two, We should be number two on his list. She had nothing, she had she had been outcast from NBC, She had nothing. She came on this show. Two weeks later, she signs a contract with the XM Radio. Serious XM Radio, and now look at her back back to dominating the airways. Put her back on our feet. Yeah literally, you want any Christy Clark news, Give me a little Christy Clark. All right, So this this moving on, moving on on the next. So get this, dude, if you're in Oakland, do you know what they went to and some of their city streets stop signs? Do you remember the story I think you gave the story about electric vehicles can't charge because the people steal the hose, right, not the hose but the lopper line. Yeah yeah, so these yeahhoo's the homeless guys or whoever is doing And I said to homeless, because I just pictured that they're going to traffic lights, you know, the cabinets that control the light. They're going in and stealing the materials out of it. So they've gone to not not to fix or to lock the cabinets or do whatever you would do or arrest those guys, just put sign stop signs. So now you're at these major intersections and you have to stop. It's stupid. Can you imagine living in a society that's that way. I got angry this week because I went to my local Lows and I went to get a spool of wire just to wire up some stuff and flock and key. You're a kidding, Oh yes, and I'm thinking of this is where we're at. Instead of enforcing the laws, we would rather make everybody else inconvenient. By the way, it doesn't even have to have to be the Bedford place that was being ripped off. Correct, That can be a company policy. And because they don't want to insult the people that are in Charlotte, so they make his company wide. And I'll give you an example of that Dollar General when we were up in Highland County last time. Yeah, were you with you? Weren't with me on that trip? Grayson and I, Grayce and I were in Dollar General. Remember they and I'm not a big fan of this self checkout, hate them, but there was no choice, there was no self check out. They've gotten rid of it here too. They took them out and the lady said, well, it's not because of Hyland, is because of the stores. The store generally has decided across the country because so many people are walking out on their goods that now no one can. So you, as a Dollar General, aren't going to look at where the theft is. No, you're just going to say blanket across We're gonna make everyone suffer. Yeah, that's it's what Steve always is. A goat works for me. It cracks me up all the time. He says, a lock is only to keep an honest man out. The thief isn't worried about a lock on a Yeah, it only makes us have to go through an extra step or whatever. Yeah, keeping self checkout doesn't keep them from stealing the groceries. Yeah, they're still going to steal the groceries. It's just now we are inconvenience because of it. Yeah, so that's all a locke does is keep an honest man from well. Segue to another Chrissy Clark story. In Saint Petersburg, they had one of those street or no it Florida, Florida. They had one of those streets where they did the Pride color painted the pavement. Yes, somebody went and did a donut. They took their car and they spun a donut on a motorcycle or a car or whatever. Yeah, so they'd spun it on them. Ye. Hate. The authorities have said that, the head of Saint Petersburg that when they find that person, they will be charged with a felony. It's ridiculous. So you can go still material out of a cabinet. The hell with that. You didn't burn down a building exactly. You can do any of that stuff as long as you call it protest. But you just burned right out. Any kid who saw a painted street, they could have made that thing strawberry shortcake and they would have spun on it because it's not black. Yes, you know what I mean. And they're going to make it a hate crime, and yes they will. You know they're going. They would love to do that. Don't think no black stripes matter. What are we doing here? It was racist? Oh here's another, here's a great one. I heard of Ben Shapiro talking about this. Do you know where Ben Shapiro went to college? Regent UCLA? Okay, so he's a Harvard and UCLA guy. And I don't know which one was undergraduate, which one's graduate, but I want to say he was in the medical program. That's where he met his wife. His wife is a true doctor. So he has been talking about this for a while that Ucla. He almost has disavowed of being a UCLA guy because they dropped their stances. There were no stances to get into medical school. They had to get blacks into the medical school. They now are at fifty percent failure rate on the standard medical exam. Again, for those who are Ben Carson who did it the right way, it's an insult to them exactly. That's what I've always said. It doesn't matter like it would be. Here is the exact example. If the NBA said we're going to lower our standards so that white people people can now become more prevalent in the NBA. We're going to lower our standards. I mean, that's exactly what you're saying. Until Luca got in you're an idiot, But I mean you're you're tracking right there along with I mean, is it's dumb. It's embarrassing that we have done this. But guess guess what the next level of that's going to be. It's not going to be that we need to go back to the standards that we have so that we can have people start passing the test. It's going to be that test is a racist test. We have to change the medical example. Well, who gets hurt by that? Of course? Yes, we all, all of us. Yes, here's what we need to do. Yes, I challenge whosain bolt? But I get to be five feet from the finish line. That would be fair. That would be fair, Corris. I think I could beat him. M five feet. I can fall five feet? Can you do it in ten seconds? Lightning? Yeah? Ay? Guy? Have you even heard of them? And I should have wrote the guy's name down. It's Mike Thomas. I just make that up. There's a guy that has spent six and a half million dollars on behalf of Hunter Biden. He has spent it on his legal feesh. He's spent it on his child support, and he spent it on his residence in California A guy. Yeah, So don't you think the IRS would want to know? Like, for example, yeh, where are you getting the money? If I have income? Right, they held my tax return. I still haven't gotten it. They're holding it sixty days while they confirm whether or not I did my taxes right, So they're holding that on me. But this guy can spend six and a half million, And you wonder, A, where'd you get the six and a half million? Who funded you to have six and a half million to give? And why did you give six and a half millions that this? Of all the people that's in the United States, we gave it to this guy. Guess who stopped the investigation of the IRS. I'm gonna give you three letters, C and A. The CIA stopped the investigation of the RS. The Department of Justice stepped in and said, the CIA has asked us not to do this. Jesus, of course they're going to say it's under some kind of national security right, we can't talk to you while it's investigated being investigated. How come nobody stands how come nobody just nobody, nobody stands through it? So you mentioned it to Bob Hey, that's a segue to the interview. We're tired of not winning. How come no one stands up for their own principle and says says no, I'm taking this to trial. Yes, this is wrong. We're going to put that guy that gave six and a half million dollars. We're going to put him in jail like we would anybody else that's on the Trump side, and we're gonna make him talk about where he got six and a half million from or who gave it to him, and why he would have even done in the first place. I saw it the other night. You made me think of WNBA flip over because I'm trying. I'm trying to watch and then it looks it is much more talented than it used to be. They've gotten so much better. But I'm watching this Seattle Storm and some other team play. I can't get through two minutes of it. You know, their arena is called climate awareness or climate change, my climate something. So I'm like, dude, to name an arena, you probably have to spend ten million. Yeah, wouldn't you say for the naming rights of it? I would think, Okay, if you're a nonprofit, where do you have ten million? Line around? Where are you getting ten million? That's a great question. So of course I look it up. That particular nonprofit or whatever it is is a faction of Amazon and they've given ten billion ors two billion or whatever to This is what I've always said, what is your in game? Like? Where is where are we comfortable with the climate? What regulations do we need to put in? Because remember somebody asked, Okay, if we do all of this stuff in twenty thirty and we're carbon neutral or whatever you're calling it, has it impacted the environment? Have we done enough? They can't give you an answer to that, of course. So I've always said, when you do all of this stuff that you're claiming, climbate awareness, climate change, climate this climate that, where is the end game? It's like minimum wage, just take it rid of everything at this point? Yeah, because there is no endgame. Yeah, what's the finish line? There is none? Yeah, exactly, because as soon as you reach what you claim you're after and a tornado comes through. For God's sakes, it's vaping. You have to have some funds. Yeah, was a problem back then. We have to have funds to be able to study that. Yeah. Yeah, that's horrible. It's so stupid when, like I said, when we grew up, paper was the evil thing. By God, paper, you better not get it because it's killing trees. Remember that, Oh everything, don't touch it. So we moved to plastic. Now we're going back to that gnea. You better use that paper bag. It's when you mentioned it with bomb that it's frustrating for us not to see, not to get winds. When is somebody going to stand up to them and say this stuff does not make sense. There's no math to what you're doing, and we're not spending money on it. We're not a finality to it. It's stupid. That's all rich that the Chinese built the other day, Dude, it must have been three hundred peers on this thing and it's snaked through and it all. I think it was just a train to be able to haul dirt. I mean it was like it was nothing. They spent that much money to just it's it's nuts and yet here we are TikTok of that beaver. It's still the funniest thing ever. Guy, it's just video and the beaver's Yeah, but he says, there's no way you built that. It's the big damn behind it. Oh the Great show.

All right, see you next week. And the day God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a caretaker. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board. So God made a farmer. God said I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn cold and watch you die. Then dry his eyes and say, maybe next year, I need somebody who can shake an axe handle from for simmons, sprout shoe, a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of hay, wirefeed sacks and shoescraps, who planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty hour week by Tuesday noon, and then painting from tractor back put in another seventy two hours. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave veils, yet gentle enough to yeand lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink combed pullets, who will stop off his moar for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. So God made a farmer. It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to see weed feet breed and brake and disk and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody who'd bail a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing. Who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what dad does, so God made a farmer
